The Museum of Perth will open its doors to the public for this year's Open House Perth. Come take a look into the newly established museum space and its upstairs research hub and office. 

The Museum of Perth is located in the historical Smith’s Chambers building at 117 Barrack Street, Perth, which was built in 1896.

The building originally possessed a beautiful cape dutch gable on top of the facade. History tells us it was damaged and removed in the 1968 earthquake that struck regional WA.

The building has had some interesting tenants in its time, such as the City Toilet Club, Dease Studios and the League of WA Wheelmen. It was also used for Psychic readings and a gambling den!

Guided tours by the Chair of the Perth History Association, will be available on Saturday, 7 November in two 30min sessions at 11am and 1pm. 

Opening times: Sat & Sun, 10am-3pm
